Bob Marley & the Wailers "Exodus" (2024 Reissue)

Featuring the original album with an alternate cover, new liner notes and an essay by Jamaican music historian Herbie Miller w/ a bonus 10” EP

Celebrating the extraordinary 2024 biopic, One Love, on the life of a global icon Bob Marley, Island/UMe releases his timeless album, Exodus, in a new limited edition. Featuring the original album with an alternate cover, new liner notes and an essay by Jamaican music historian Herbie Miller. A bonus 10” EP contains dub versions of “Exodus,” “Jamming” and “Punky Reggae Party,” plus the rare track “Roots,” all housed in a gatefold jacket. As seen in a key scene in the One Love film, the alternate cover is the album’s original design by the late Neville Garrick, a longtime friend of Bob’s who was also his creative designer and lighting director. He initially conceived Exodus in the context of flight, depicting a green, gold and red-winged migrating bird, with Marley and the Wailers enclosed in a global sphere overseen by Haile Selassie, in an image symbolic of the parting of the Red Sea. Garrick pivoted to the nowclassic cover, which will be seen on the back of this release.
